The sub-soil is red light-to-medium clay containing limestone pebbles. The vineyard is virtually pesticide and chemical free; warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to ripen during the day and the vines to recover overnight. Vines are spur-pruned and bud numbers are calculated to deliver low yields.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vineyard bears shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, viognier and \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Picolit\"\u003epicolit\u003c\/a\u003e grapes, a white variety of Italian origin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAustralian wine writer \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.winecompanion.com.au\/\"\u003eJames Halliday\u003c\/a\u003e recently referred to the wines of Turners Crossing as having “uncommon distinction”.
